place is terrible, shaved ice is inconsistent, just a snowball with syrup that didn't taste good at all, tastes like it had artificial sweeteners. no ice cream options like other shaved ice stores nearby.no seating inside, have to sit outside on bench shared with others. right near public restrooms. lots of little kids running around unattended.

Stopped here at 5:40 to get one last shave ice before our flight. The open light was out, but I saw 2 people sitting/ hiding behind the counter so I tried the door. It was locked. Guess they were trying to get out early...but super disappointing.

Pretty disappointed. Don't up at 530 on a Friday and what do we see..... The workers locking the doors. Closing time is 6pm.

Believe the bad reviews - the employees just sitting inside, but it’s closed at 6:30pm and they said they were closed and would “be back” 15 minutes later. What a waste to be closed and have people sitting there.

Being from Hilo, where we have the best ice shave in the islands, I was really wanting to try Uncles based on reviews. It was very disappointing and the flavors were terrible. They were either lacking taste or as in the banana, tastes like toothpaste. Plus side, the amount was decent but the prices are outrageous.

Awesome shave ice! Had us wanting more! Great way to end our vacay on beautiful Kauai!

We stopped in after an early dinner on our first night in Lihue. This place was small and a bit hard to find on the back side of a strip mall, but once we did, it was great. We had the shave ice combo that included mac nut ice cream and pineapple in the core, melon and coconut syrups, and sweetened condensed milk drizzled on the top. It was great and two of us easily split it.

Very tasty. It started out great. Got a little boring in the middle and ended up being one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten. Somehow the combination of shave ice and ice cream is out of this world and I don't know why this isn't more of a thing in Texas.Four stars because seating could be better, it was a little sticky from previous customers. But the service was friendly, and the portions were big.

Happened to find this little store on the side of the road. Was much better then I ever expected. The two girls at the counter were very helpful.

Some of the best shaved ice on the island! Love all their mixes, can't really go wrong. I have to go hear anytime I'm in Kauai. Service and space is limited so prepared to wait in line!

Good stuff, friendly staff and lots of choices, so get ready to stare at the menu and try to figure out something you like to try.

People so nice here and so helpful. Many choices. For first time glad that my husband is simple.

Such a fun spot! Their shave ice is quality and their flavors and not over sweet. They don’t have any indoor seating and I could see this place getting busy so just keep that in mind. They where also one of the only locations that had the beans
